Let
x-------> total peanuts originally from the bag
we know that
1) Phillip took 1/3 of the peanuts from the bag--------> (1/3)*x
remaining=x-(1/3)*x-------> (2/3)*x
2) Joy took 1/4 of the remaining peanuts-------> (1/4)*[(2/3)*x]----> (1/6)*x
remaining= (2/3)*x-(1/6)*x------> (1/2)*x
3) Brett took 1/2 of the remaining peanuts------> (1/2)*(1/2)*x-----> (1/4)*x
remaining= (1/2)*x-(1/4)*x-------> (1/4)*x
4) Preston took 10 peanuts------> 10
(1/4)*x-10=71----> multiply by 4 both sides----> x-40=284----> x=324 peanuts
5) Total originally peanuts from the bag is equal to 324 peanuts
6) Phillip took (1/3)*x-----> (1/3)*324=108 peanuts
7) Joy took (1/6)*x------> (1/6)*324=54 peanuts
8) Brett took (1/4)*x------> (1/4)*324=81 peanuts
9) Preston took 10
so
check
108+54+81+10=253
remaining=324-253------> remaining=71-------> is correct
Answer:
11
Step-by-step explanation:
y-1=10
Any figure that crosses equal sign, the operational sign changes.
y=10+1
y= 11
Hello!
3 + 2 = 5
125 divided by 5 = 25
25 x 3:2 = 2
25 x 2 = 50
It is -72 lol. that's pretty basic you know
To find the slope<span> and y </span>intercept<span>, use the </span><span>y=mx+b</span> formula<span> where </span>m<span> is the </span>slope<span> and </span>b<span> is the y </span>intercept<span>.
</span><span>y=mx+b
</span>Pull the values of m<span> and </span>b<span> using the </span><span>y=mx+b</span> formula<span>.
</span><span>m=<span>7/2</span>,</span><span>b=−2</span><span> where m is the </span>slope<span> and b is the </span>y-intercept
